Home for the Holidays

What I Was Thinking . . . was how much I enjoy the holidays. I am doing my best this year to try and not make it the big hustle and bustle it always becomes. I've already started my Christmas shopping and I plan on wrapping what I have already bought this weekend.

Chris and Sarah will not be spending Christmas with us this year; they are going to Sarah's parents in Florida because for the last two Christmases they have been with us. Sarah will truly enjoy being with her mom and dad this year. Surprisingly, I am really not sad about it. Maybe I am learning to adapt! I just know how happy my son is and that just brings joy to my heart! There's nothing better in this world than to see your kids happy!

Staci and Josh will be coming home for an entire week! It will be a year since I have seen them; that just doesn't seem possible, or right! I just want to hug her ... that's it.... just hug that girl! I miss her SO MUCH.

And, of course, Kelsi will be home the entire Christmas break and Bodi is supposed to spend Christmas day with us as well. I am really looking forward to the kids being home. I love the house being full of life! I love being with my kids ... all of them.

Thanksgiving we are back to our tradition of spending it with my parents in Las Vegas. My sister and her family are coming down as well! We LOVE that time when we can all get together. My mom and dad are very special people and they have kept our family close all of these years.

From now on every holiday is going to be something different and someone added for a while... either someone marrying into our family or a babies being born. There is just so much to look forward to! Can't wait to see what God has in store for us!

That's What I Was Thinking
